Touring China with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra

My ancestors came from China and the Mandarin language is my mother tongue, so I often face an fascinating dichotomy of heritage, especially as a young artist in search of my own personal identity. Do my roots come from 5000+ years of history, or 50+ years as a Singaporean Chinese? One thing is clear though - my favourite noodles are from Xi’An, one of the cities where we perform in!

Called "Biang Biang Noodles", these spicy, thick and chewy noodles come from Shaanxi province. "Biang" is the most complicated chinese character ever with 57 strokes.
